Bio:

Before construction of the Seireitei, the Rukongai had been what it had always been. Lawless and rampant with thugs and lowlives.

A young girl wandered about the Rukongai districts, constantly suffering from hunger pains. Merchants have repeatedly tried to shove her away from their wares, only to have it stolen when they looked away.

This would make her infamous and eventually, lead to a hit being put on her.

One of the bounty hunters attempt to take her life for profit and this lead to the conscious awakening of her spiritual prowess.

The Shinigami that patrol the area would take notice of this and asks her if she would like to undergo training. She would be hesistant at first, but accepts due to offer of access to free food. Souls that need sustenance are the ones that grow and develop.

For about a decade, she learns from fighting alongside other Shinigami, forming ties and friendships through trials and blood. She would learn of her Shikai during this timeskip.

Soul Burial had not been made yet and Shinigami had to directly open a gate and escort the soul through. However, they were ambushed by a powerful Adjuchas and were systematically slaughtered. It would approach her last, taunting her about she could not save her comrades and savor her soul's anguish as it devoured her.

This would lead to her awakening of her other affinity; the ability to directly manipulate spirit particles. She would literally disassemble the Hollow before her, eroding him into a non-existance.

Traumatized, she did not notice how, when she inhaled a breath of relief, she took in the remains of the Hollow into her.

After these events, she would begin to further develop her new ability.

She had created and mastered the art that is the Soul Burial, dedicated to those who lose their lives in the line of duty.

Many had asked why she shed tears when she first cast the technique.

Roughly three years later, she would hear voices not her own, just mumbling outside of her senses. Something was tugging at the back of her mind, like a whisper too quiet and distorted.

Though she could not hear the words, the intent was clear.

It was a malicious one.

This lead to her becoming more isolated and withdrawn, due to lashing out at awkward and random moments. The whispers became more coherent as time went on, their despair making her uneasy.

She eventually broke, leaving behind a suicide note in her quarters.

It was an orchid of cherry trees in the outskirts of the more peaceful districts. She would lament on how she and her comrades would often sit beneath the largest tree and watch of the blooming of the blossoms. How they were all so merry and content.

She leans her back against the tree, contemplating the life she's lead until then and braces herself for what was to come. She takes her zanpakutou and pierces her own chest, pinning her to the tree.

As she welcomes the bliss of her second death, the Hollows within her do not take this well. They swiftly surge through, taking control of whatever power she had left. Her blade erodes and she collapses before the roots.

They search for a new vessel to house their collective strength and, using her manipulation of spirit particles, seals them into the cherry tree.

From then on, while all the other trees in the orchid bloomed, there was one at the center in the grove that never did. It was an ugly mark amongst them, dead and bare.

Shikai Form: The sword is replaced with a pair of decorated paper hand fans. The patterns are that of a black material with pink flashes in the shape of falling cherry blossoms. Kaika's hair gains pink highlights, starting from the roots.Shikai Abilities:

Hankonchō (反魂蝶, Anti-Soul Butterfly) A butterfly-shaped projectile that erodes the spirit particles around it. Direct contact may lead to loss of cohesiveness and/or numbness.

Shide no Yūgatō (死出の誘蛾灯, Light Trap of Passing Away) Creates of an orb of light that shines an alluring radiance, lulling those under its influence into a state of serenity.

Shi Chō no Mai (死蝶の舞, Dance of the Dead Butterflies) Causes an area of effect to be engulfed with Hankonchō, bursting forth from a single location.

Chō no Hakazesei Nishibaraku (蝶の羽風生に暫く, In the Moment Where a Butterfly's Wings Flap) Kaika is able to teleport to any of her Hankonchō in a flash of pink light.

Bankai: Saigyou Ayakashi (西行妖, Bewitching Cherry Tree of the West)Bankai Form: A colossal cherry tree takes form behind Kaika. The air around it become calm and serene while the tree blossoms into life. Kaika's hair is now fully pink, eclipsing any of her original hair color.

Na Mai, Shōjahitsumetsu no Kotowari (亡舞, 生者必滅の理, Deadly Dance, Law of Mortality) Kaika twirls her fans twice, a sweeping wave of phantasmal cherry blossoms floods the area in her direction.

Agehachōmon no Shiso (鳳蝶紋の死槍, Deadly Lance of the Swallowtail Butterfly Crest) Kaika fires a lance of pink energy with trails of Hankonchō flying around it. This can be fired from the cherry tree as well.

Shi Shite Subete Daidan'En (死して全て大団円, All Things Come Full Circle in Death) Ensnaring the enemy in tree roots, Kaika teleports before the victim and embraces them. Those in her embrace will enter a state of calm and acceptance, eroding as the tree roots absorb their Reiatsu until succumbing to the drain.

Tsune Yozakura (常夜桜, Endless Evening Cherry Blossoms) Cherry petals spill from the branches, cascading the area around the tree. Kaika is hidden by the flurries, enshrouding her location and spiritual signature. Anything that would come in contact with the petals will decay and dissolve, varying in its spiritual density.

Mirenmishakuen (未練未酌宴, Feast of Lingering Regrets) Kaika thrusts her fan into her opponent's body, injecting a dense miasma of her reiatsu. Hankonchō erupt from the wound, consuming the remaining reiatsu of the victim. The Hankonchō spawned from this technique is able to repeat this attack on another victim if they were to come in physical contact. If the new victim were weaker than the Hankonchō's progenitor, they will be affected. If a horde of Hankonchō were to bombard a single target and their collective reiatsu were higher than that of their target, the technique will be successful.

Bio:

A prodigy recruited a few years ago, Remmy had already developed his power that had made him an outcast amongst his peers and even some of the more seasoned Shinigami.

Acknowledging his accelerating growth, he was placed into a more venerable unit.

He took comfort that he was now surrounded by those he respected, rivals that would challenge him to higher levels of strength.

For the following months, he felt as though he belonged.

However, during a routine escort from the Living World, something had gone horribly awry.

ZanpakutōName: Akai Akuma (紅い悪魔, Scarlet Devil)Sealed State: A curtana, the handle is silver with a crimson cross as the guard. No sheath.Release Command: Pierce (突き刺す, Tsukisasu)

Shikai Form: The sword transforms into a transparent red spear. He dons a gauntlet on his right arm, made of the same transparent material as his spear. Remmy's pupils are now vertically slit.Shikai Abilities:

Hātobureiku (ハートブレイク, Heartbreak) Remmy tosses his spear at his enemy, imprinting a red cross where the spear shall hit. The spear will be guaranteed to hit the target if not stopped, trailing a tail of red wisps behind it.

Mizeraburufeito (ミゼラブルフェイト, Miserable Fate) Remmy fires a cluster of transparent red chains from his gauntlet. The head of the chain is led by a bladed tip. This technique can be used to penetrate or bind his opponent(s).

Bankai: Eien Ni Akai Osanaki Tsuki (永遠に紅い幼き月, The Eternally Young Scarlet Moon)Bankai Form: Leathery black bat wings extend from Remmy's back, he now wears a tattered black cowl. Enlarged fangs are visible from his lips and his eyes glow in dim light. His spear and gauntlet is much more elaborate and solid, emitting a slow and steady aura of red reiatsu.

Supia za Gunguniru (スピア·ザ·グングニル, Spear the Gungnir) Like its predecessor, Remmy tosses his spear at his enemy, imprinting a red cross where the spear shall hit. However, the speed and power of the technique is exponentially higher.

Dēmonkingukureidoru (デーモンキングクレイドル, Demon King Cradle) Remmy shatters his spear momentarily and forms a condensed cone of reiatsu around him. He then launches himself at the enemy at great velocity, piercing and obliterating his target. While in this state, he is able to use any other of his abilities as well.

Fuyajō Reddo (不夜城レッド, Red the Nightless Castle) Remmy channels his excess energy throughout his body, emitting a high-density aura attack from four directions of his person; above, below, front and behind.

Bio:

As a former monk, he had wandered about the Rukongai and offered services as a spiritual guide and healer.

He had been sought after by the Shinigami as a potential recruit for a considerable amount of time, yet he declined repeatedly. He claimed that he had a duty to those who cannot help themselves, his dharma in this next life.

For several years, he continued this, often praised as the saint of his namesake. His practice as a healer was not only that of a physician, but also that of a kido user, learnt through trial, effort and instinct. While slowly, his reiatsu swelled as he went on.

Hollows caught scent of this wandering morsel, the scent made their gluttonous mouths drool. Not only was the signature strong, it was raw and untrained; unlikely to be able to resist.

On a moonlit night, the streets were paved with red. Huts and carts were splintered into ruins as they hunted.

While they were intent on devouring the monk, passerby were quickly eaten as they were caught in the crossfire.

By the time the Shinigami had arrived, an entire district was nearly razed.

Myouren watched as he saw numerous people reach out to him, people who had come to depend on him in times of need, as they were consumed. The faces that he had mended and cherished, once laughing and joyful, were gone.

He had reluctantly let himself be led by the Shinigami for provisional training, vowing to never allow this to repeat again.

Swiftly learning the arts of the Shinigami, he became a respected field medic, having saved many lives as a healer and as a combatant.

Myouren had a habit of visiting the Living World alongside other units during lax times, guiding the departed to what he often calls “a world of dharma filled with light.”

Seigi no Ikō (正義の威光, Aura of Justice) Myouren's aura intensifies, granting him immense physical strength and reaction speed. This state is channeled for as long as he holds the vajra. Myouren is also able to focus the aura into the vajra to form an energy blade.

Jōka no Hijiri (浄化の聖, Monk of Purification) Myouren gathers nearby reiatsu into his aura and channels it into himself or any allies. He then restores any physical wounds and injuries. This effect is as potent as the amount of collected reiatsu.

Shōdo Mandara (焦土曼荼羅, Scorched Earth Mandala) Myouren ensnare those hit by his aura in a golden seal of light. Those affected will be immobile until freed. The effect is as powerful as Myouren's strength at the time he cast the trap.

Bankai: Bishamonten no Shinseina Kongō (毘沙門天の神聖な金剛, Sacred Vajra of Bishamonten)Bankai Form: Myouren now wears a white lotus shaped ornament in his hair and a floating shawl around his shoulders. He holds a double vajra that can detach into to two separate vajras. An enormous floating pagoda floats overhead, casting down a radiant golden light upon Myouren.

Sanzendaisensekai no Omo (三千大千世界の主, Master of the Great Trichiliocosm) The pagoda shines down upon Myouren, multiplying his physical attacks by a thousand-fold. However, the opponent must also be exposed to the light as well for this to take effect.

Dainichinyorai no Kagayaki (大日如来の輝き, Brilliance of Mahavairocana) Myouren directs the pagoda's light onto him, refracting it into a giant burst. Very high density and large area of effect. Can also be channeled to be used in a sweeping motion.

Shakamuni no Gogyōzan (釈迦牟尼の五行山, Five-Element Mountain of Shakyamuni) Myouren merges into the pagoda and projects a gigantic Buddha of light to fight in his place. The Buddha is invulnerable for as long as the pagoda's light is on it. The Buddha's form will begin to fade and eventually shatter if not empowered by the pagoda's light.
